Would anyone like to discuss feminism and coivd?

I’ve been watching Falcom drill down on sexual harassment as a form of humor in the Trails series. Now that they’re remaking Sky, I’m curious how well they’ll handle having a female lead for once in a long time.

Put short, feminism is an important value in games for me - and shouldn’t be a high goal to achieve.

Set aside the china argument. In a random conversation about a video game, when do these topics come up? Unless the game is directly telling a story about those elements, I don't understand why this matters?

If people wanna discuss a topic, fine, but I don't see what it even has to do with an average video game.

I've seen game streams before where someone plays a random game while discussing a completely unrelated topic. It's so strange to me and not my thing. But them again, ANY commentary over a game video is garbage to begin with. They never add anything to it. No commentary is just superior for watching videos of gameplay.
